These flight lines are linked to the shown flight requests.

Line Order Matters: No

Notify PI when takeoff time changes > 1 hour: No

Line Repeat Rules:
- Repeat InSAR lines that do not meet flight track requirements, as assessed by the radar operator.

Line order may be changed to optimize the acquisition of red lines. Red lines cannot take more than 4.5 hours.
Red: Core line, essential for mission success, must be repeated
Yellow: Medium priority line, repeat if possible
Green: Lowest priority line, may be dropped, do not repeat
